‘Saint Jerome in his Study’ by Italian artist Antonello in the 1470s

‘Saint Jerome in his Study’ may have been painted by Italian artist Antonello in the 1470s. His detailed treatment of objects such as the hanging towel and the view through the window was influenced by Netherlandish painting. As part of our ‘Soundscapes’ exhibition, Canadian artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller have responded to the painting by creating a new audio composition and a visually striking installation about the connection of artists through time: "We wanted to really get to know the architectural space that Antonello portrayed even to trying to locate his point of view of where he’d have to be sitting while painting.”
